Does anyone know what kind of lenses they used with the Canon XL1s in the movie 28 Days Later. The movie looks great. Although I know that I can't afford some of the lenses. I was thinking about buying some new lenses for my camera and it would be great if I could afford some of the ones used in 28 Days Later.

Please do a search. There have been multiple threads already on this. The search button is on the top of the page. Look for "Anthony Dodd Mantle", "28 Days Later" and you will find loads of information on it.

Regardless of the information contained in the threads that Keith kindly referenced, the look of that film was largely due to the expert lighting, camera movement, production design and post-production manipulation of the image. The HD primes no doubt increased the sharpness a bit, but I wouldn't attribute all that much of the look to them.
